They do work. Get some decent aftermarket bearings, they tend to have less radial run out than the stock thus giving a better feel. Close on a brand new chain, if it starts to bind on a new chain, should work fine on a used one. Go in small increments, many get impatient and go too far too...

That is one of my main decision reasons, living in the boonies, I don't need to be driving long distances for decent support. Thankfully a really good dealer locally.

20 incher backed up by the MK2 North Woods power plant. @Stump Shot Steve's signature: Easy peasy start Easy peasy restart Puts a Big'O stupid smile each time, one feisty diva. Six years of trouble free operation, start and go, does not miss a beat. Not that Steve could not do the same for...

The MK1s had a lean fuel curve straight out of the factory as late as 2016-2017 when mine was produced. Once I had my AT updated in 2019, all start/restart problems went away. The idle fuel curve was fattened up, no need for a high idle to restart. Cold starts: do not use the decomp on the...

Just played around with a brand new EXL, on the torque monster from the North Woods factory. @Stump Shot Cut was made on a 5 year bone dry hard wood, these were the chips we pulled. Stock tooth profile, stock raker height, but I did modify the raker profile just to see how we would do. Just...

1+ To be able to land at Sydney Harbor and have someone take me to the true outback, awesome. To look around and see: no people, no electricity, no cell phone signal, and no civilization, would be nice. All that's left: heat, sand, cangaroos, and them hard woods to cut. That would be a dream...

@Stump Shot Steve these truly are some amazing machines. Randy @Mastermind has an amazing formula. That's not to say yours would not be top notch as well, should someone be thinking about a massage.

OFF TOPIC: Steve after 6 faithful years without missing a heartbeat, the SSS550mk2 went in for the AT update and the new blue filter. Sharp 325 chain, 7/32nd file, on a 20" bar is a must for these puppies. Looking forward to another 6+ years of easy peasy operation.

Nothing to worry about with Steve, shipping and packaging ... superb. 🍹🍹🍹

@Stump Shot Steve does some very good quality work. He is NOT the hack it up, send it off to the customer, be done type of a person. The 128 point inspection pays its dividents, we all know how the factory QC goes these days.

The power to weight ratio is unbeatable, especially when ported correctly.

Nice work Randy! Soooo ... it was them. Sad for all that overspent on the hype not knowing any better.

Randy Happy Easter to you too my friend. The 562mk1 from 2016 you did for me bucked up some nice logs, a happy family get together for Easter Monday, BBQ, Easter egg hunt for the kids, and us older kids ... some fine Tennessee whiskey. As good as is gets half way around the world. All the...

@Powerstroke Cowboy 7A series hopefully made in JAPAN. The CMR series 6H/7H I purchased last year, all made in Thailand. As pointed out by our good friend Rich Flagg.
